It will make an exciting hour for you. Shannon merry christmas. We start with breaking news. The president hinting he might not sign the new covid19 relief government funding deal citing billions of dollars going to other countries instead of checks directly to americans plus apartment sparking controversy. Is straight from the white house and Deputy Communications director Brian Morganstern joins us in minutes and tension over who should be next in line to get the coronavirus vaccine. A democrat says inmates should be prioritized and at least one state making more to agree with that plan. Told the camera joins us to discuss that is why she voted no on the covid19 relief deal last night. The clock is ticking on election challenges filed by the Trump Campaign with one lawsuit in georgia stalled as the president s legal team says they are being stonewalled. We investigate our legal panel weighs in on whether the president is getting a fair shot at a day in court ahead of the Critical Senate runoff election. Welcome to fox news it might. We begin with Julian Turner on Donald Trumps curtailed critique of the covid19 funding package. Good evening. Reporter donald trump is asking lawmakers to make Eleventh Hour changes to this massive coronavirus stimulus package they passed last night after a month of stalled out negotiations, the president s beef with this 5000 plus page bill, americans need more money in their pockets than the 600 on offer. He also wants the spending chopped out. 505 million to belize, costa rica, el salvador, guatemala, honduras, nicaragua and panama. 40 million for the Kennedy Center in washington dc and an additional 154 million for the National Gallery of art. He says what is left over doesnt cut the mustard. 900 billion package provides Hardworking Taxpayers with only 600 and relief payments and not enough money given to small business. He says 2,000 is more in line with what most americans need. The changes he is asking for are actually for two bill, the coronavirus stimulus and the governments annual spending bill. Many democrats agree with the president , and say 600 is nowhere near enough. 600. I will tell you in hawaii that, in most cases wont cover 25 of your rent. It is an insult and a slap in the face to every single american in this country who is struggling because of this covid19 pandemic. Reporter some republicans say 600 is too much. Why stop at 600 a person. Why not 1,000. Why not 2,000. May be these new free money republicans should join the everybody gets a guaranteed income caucus. Still another whopper bill waiting Donald Trumps signature, the National Defense authorization act that funds the us military. You wants to be so it because it doesnt include repeal for protections of social Media Companies known as section 230. Congress can override his veto for the first time in his term but there are concerns the house might not have the votes. Also breaking tonight the president has granted full pardons to 15 people, this includes three former republican lawmakers and commuted the sentences of 5 others. We will debate those pardons later. Thank you. Also included if donald trump pardons two for Border Patrol agents following this case years ago, in 2005 the pair stopped an illegal immigrant for drug trafficking, the agent said the suspect resisted arrest and they thought he was arms. Mister raymo shot the suspect who fled back across the border. They were sentenced to 11 and 12 years in prison respectively. In 2009 president george w. Bush commuted their sentences with bipartisan support. Donald trump not the only one in washington scrutinizing the new 900 billion covid19 relief package. Were closer look at what is in the text and the government funding bill that is attached to and why some members of congress on both sides of the aisle i criticizing it, here is correspondent from congress chad program. There is a Reason Congress call such catch all bills christmas trees, one is they usually come just before christmas and 2 you never quite really know what you discover under the tree. The yeas at 359, yehs 53. It is a hodgepodge of taxcut provisions, tax rates for nascar tracks, antidopeing program for horse racing, two new smithsonian museums on the national mall, womens history and the museum of the american latino, a prohibition of sending ecigarette through the mail. Congress decided to lift criminal funds with the logo smokey barrett you wont go to jail if you transport water chestnut plant or plant get a grasp between states. The process has been too missing. But this package is too badly needed for us to do anything but pass this. It was legislative list in more ways than one. The coronavirus package is the longest ever, 5600 pages or nearly 5 volumes of war and peace by leo tolstoy. The sheer fact that it was 5593 pages handed to us with 5 hours and 45 minutes to read it before we had to vote on it, that principle alone is enough to vote no on it. Republican Johnson Ron Johnson voted no calling the bill a monstrosity. Johnson city will be weeks, maybe months before we know what is in it. Others didnt like it but went along. This is a tough way to legislate, save everything to the end and then pass a large bill and we dont even have a hard copy of the bill. New york democrat alexandria Ocasio Cortez, lawmakers only had a few hours to look at the bill, but to read it was the equivalent of taking hostages. Shannon thank you. Donald trump focusing on what he calls wasteful spending in the funding package which is more of what he had to say earlier tonight. Im also asking congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver covid19 relief package and maybe that administration will be me and we will get it done. A lot to impact on that and president ial pardons and the vaccine and covid19 news. Joined by deputy can indications director Brian Morganstern. So as soon as the president said it should be more like 2,000, Immediate Reaction from both sides of the aisle, nancy pelosi saying republicans refuse to say what about the president was a direct tax was less the president does it lead to 2,000, democrats are ready to bring this to the floor this week by unanimous consent, lets do it. Two members of the squad, Rashida Tlaib and Ocasio Cortez saying we the covid19 amendment that would give 2,000 checks, lets it done, just holly saying that is more money needed. So i would be steelwork out. The other part of this is the president wants a lot of stuff cut out. Thats right. Obviously a lot of moving parts with this as weve learned more about the 5500 page bill in the hours since it came out the we learned a lot about it. The president s focus has remained the same which is stimulus checks to american families, ppp for Small Businesses to keep people connected to the job, really for businesses like restaurants employ 15 million americans, getting schools open, getting vaccines out, these issues that are directly tied to the coronavirus. The more weve heard from people around the country, citizens, legislators about all the things in this bill that are not focused on those core issues, the president has the strong concerns that were designed video. He thinks we can do better. He wants congress to do better and that is what he is encouraging them to do. Shannon is there a chance he will not sign the measure when he gets to its desk tonight or this morning . He hopes not to be in that position. As he says so often we will see what happens. What hes done tonight is a call to action for congress to do better, strip out the things that are not addressing these core issues and address the core issues in a more robust way. We hope you will do so. Potential then if there are significant changes that he would veto or not sign that bill. We will watch that. There is also a watch to see if he will sign the Defense Authorization bill with funding from our military and a lot of dispute about that and whether there is a vetoproof majority it is he going to veto that bill . The administration put out a formal statement position that he intends to veto it and for a variety of reasons, section 230 is very important, chinese propaganda is oliver the internet and its and seemed to be an effort to identify that our flag it or censor it but there are censorship efforts towards americans including the president so thats an important issue. There are other important issues like his ability to draw down troops in afghanistan and move troops around europe, out of germany, south korea. His powers as commanderinchief. It is important to protect those because hes trying to end foreign wars, the endless wars so he doesnt want to those powers curtails, that is an important issue as well. He hasnt moved his position but trying to work with congress to make changes so we can be productive together. Hopefully it wont come to that but he has issued the threat. Shannon there are worries about a new strain of the coronavirus, not going to impact this in a negative way. They will respond the same way to the vaccine. We hope those things are accurate as we wait to find out. Governor cuomo is going after the federal government, saying there should be no travel restriction regarding these flights. Is a Business Insider answers it is reprehensible and grossly negligent that the federal government is doing nothing to address the new strain of the coronavirus circulating in the uk, the president has gotten heat for travel bands in the past but sounds like Governor Cuomo wants one now. Talking gross negligence and putting lives at risk, Governor Cuomo is the poster boy. His criticism is ridiculous, donald trump has had stringent travel restrictions since march. A lot of these countries are catching up to him because the lifesaving value in it. We can tell the American People at this point our Health Professionals are telling us they feel confident these vaccines we are putting are still going to work against this strain, viruses mutate frequently, that is not a surprise and the guidance is the same and washing your hands, socially distancing, being careful, using common sense, the guidance remains the same so behavior doesnt have to change and donald trump used the defense production act and other authorities to get the worlds leading testing system up and running and that enables a lot of jurisdictions and Companies Like airlines to do testing to protect people traveling as well and a number of Airlines Flying from britain to the United States are doing that. Travel restrictions in place, testing is going on and guidance remains the same. Governor cuomo taking an opportunity to criticize the administration when his response to covid19 his been hard but donald trump is doing what he can to protect the American People. Shannon still a lot of questions about what is going on in new york moving forward. Brian morganstern, great to see you, merry christmas, happy holidays, see you soon. Merry christmas, happy new year, see you soon. Shannon jerome adams is confident the new strain of coronavirus will not impact Vaccination Efforts in the us, not stopping new York Governor Andrew Cuomo from pushing for new International Travel restrictions we were just discussing. Aishah hasnie has the story tonight. Reporter right now there are no confirmed cases of that uk strain in the new york area but it could be here already and that is why Governor Cuomo is trying to find out where exactly it could be, he wants to know that immediately calling the new York Hospitals to Start Testing for this strain. The strain is set to be 70 more contagious and doctor Anthony Fauci does believe it is already here in the us. Several other countries have already banned travel from the uk but doctor Anthony Fauci does not support a travel ban. On monday Governor Cuomo announced he did strike a deal with three airlines to require passengers from england to provide a negative covid19 test before heading for the empire state but he says the federal government should test travelers from all countries calling it reprehensible that the Trump Administration hasnt acted quickly enough. I think what new york did is a very simple model for them to replicate. This comes down to simple testing and the requirement that we say we want people tested like the other 120 countries. Not to do it is gross negligence. Reporter the nations Surgeon General jerome adams trying to calm fears over how effective the new vaccines might be against this new strain. There is no indication thus far that this new variant will be resistant to vaccines. There may be a day we do have a very and that doesnt respond to these vaccines and that is okay too because that happens with seasonal flu. My level of concern about this is not so much about the variant. It is about the fact that we need people to be particularly cautious this Holiday Season about taking safety measures. Reporter as the Holiday Season gets underway Governor Cuomo may just give himself and new yorkers a football game. After banning fans from stadiums all season long cuomo told reporters this morning he is working on finding a way to allow fans to attend a game in person now that the team has made it to the playoffs. It will all come down to the infection rate in the buffalo area but this new strain could throw a wrench into that. So many twists and turns in this year. We plan to be flexible. That is all we can do at this point. Great to see you tonight. California governor gavin newsom consistently sightings science as justification for his states Strict Lockdown measures but a prominent voice in the medical field in california argues the governors measures are doing more harm than good. Rick leventhal is live in los angeles with this story. Reporter a doctor at Stanford University says these lockdowns are a failure of imagination and not doing much too slow the spread of the virus. He suggests focusing on protecting the elderly and the most vulnerable but the governor isnt listening. Gavin newsom says it is too risky to celebrate christmas and new years eve the traditional way saying the current 3week lockdown will likely be extended for most of the state because more people keep getting sick. A half million new cases in the past two weeks. Will search overwhelming some Emergency Rooms with hospitals in the south warning they are running out of beds. Administrators begging people to start following the rules. Celebrate outside, where your mask and please avoid nonessential travel. California is in crisis mode and its Health Systems which we are breaking records we do not want to break, number of patients in our icus and sadly the number of mortality we are witnessing. Reporter one doctor at stanford says the state should be working harder to protect the elderly and not shutting everything down for everyone else saying the lockdowns are causing more harm than good. It doesnt respect facts about this epidemic of this virus, the virus spreads in households, it spreads in ways we kind of know, where the lockdowns sort of suppresses society and places with the virus is not spread a lot. Reporter the governor who is quarantining at home disagrees. The death rate is climbing as well. Sober, sober reminder of how deadly this disease is and how tragic the loss of every life is particularly those lives lost during the Holiday Seasons. Reporter critics say the tough state ride restrictions havent seemed to have any effect on the outbreak. California reported 52,000 new cases in a single day last week which is what the entire nation was averaging back in october. Reporter thanks so much.

Covid19 restrictions forcing churches that typically see their largest crowds of the year severely limit their capacity. Some requiring tickets and rsvps to attend and shrinking or getting rid of christmas choirs, Others Holding drive in services. Like a lot of houses of worship First Presbyterian church in evanston is your virtual, streaming online. It is more of an outreach a way that having people come to the building to encompass that. Reporter the move to Virtual Services is a mixed bag for churches. During the first 5 months of the pandemic more than half congregations reported increase in participation and while 41 saw decline, 20 reported an increase according to a study by the lake institute. Financially i had all these doomsday scenarios in my mind and surprisingly people have given more. Reporter for many churches like First Presbyterian church will worship is here to stay even after the pandemic is over but others like chicago Saint Jerome Catholic parish are concerned that if they dont cut the cord parishioners wont come back. The danger people are turning to church anymore because it turned out to be comfortable at home, just get up in their pajamas or take a shower to go to church. Reporter most churches are limiting capacity but many are adding services this week to make sure no family is still there is no room at the end on christmas. In evanston, illinois. I am garrett tenney, fox news. Reporter cdc says teachers and First Responders and other essential workers should be next in line for the coronavirus vaccine. Democratic congresswoman presley has a different idea, this is what she tweeted. Covid19 is rampant in our prisons, jails and detention centers, incarcerated individuals must be prioritized once the vaccine is available. Lets bring in the mechanical is one Tulsi Gabbard for the Vaccines Division and why she voted no on the government relief funding package. Good to have you. Always good to be with you. Reporter you made a point of saying you dont think you should be a priority for the vaccine, you have access with a member of congress, what do you make of that we are trying to figure out who comes next and this call by congresswoman presley and it should go to inmates are jailed in prison. Lets first look at the twisted set of priorities the cdc has put out that has been heartless and revealing their arrogance in the decisions they are making that save the lives of elderly americans just dont count. The guidance that the cdc is putting out is essentially putting essential workers out of the line of our most vulnerable seniors and when we say essential workers we are not talking about highrisk healthcare workers, Police Officers or firefighters, when the cdc talks about essential workers they are talking every one from somebody who works at a bigger store to actors in hollywood and many others in between saying these are the people who should step in front of line ahead of those most vulnerable seniors, those we know through statistics are more likely to die from covid19 than younger americans. It is clear our most vulnerable, our seniors, those 6574 years old at high risk of complications who should be getting this vaccine first, members of Congress Like myself should not be getting precedence over them and that is why my colleagues, if you are healthy and under 65 stand in solidarity with our seniors, dont get the vaccine until our seniors can. Shannon the New York Times says it is about choice whether to prevent deaths to people who are elderly and compromised and most vulnerable or trying to curb the spread. The tradeoff between the two is muddied by the fact the definition of essential workers used by the cdc comprises nearly 70 of the american workforce, not only Grocery Store clerks and Emergency Responders but truckload operators, exterminators and Nuclear Energy workers. Do we know anything about how the cdc gets these definitions . Ive looked through a number of their slides as they go through their own analysis on how they are defining this but the conclusion ive come away with is when they talk about essential workers it seems to be very arbitrary without any rhyme or reason who qualifies for this. It is a very vague definition that doesnt make sense to me and it sends a dangerous message. When they say that the socalled essential workers are more important and take precedence to get the vaccine ahead of people like my and who is over 65, who has a severe Underlying Health condition, imprisoned in her own home because she knows if she leaves, just go to the doctor or dentist appointment she could be putting her life at risk if she gets covid19 and it is for this reason that we should follow science and save the lives of the most vulnerable, our elderly americans, make sure they get the vaccine ahead of younger healthier americans who are less likely to have that high mortality rate. Quickly before we go i want to ask why you voted no. We heard about a lot of things tucked into the covid19 relief and government funding bill, the fact that winds together, why was your vote no . It is a terrible bill. It is an absolute disgrace. I saw Donald Trumps statement. I agree with it. It is a terrible bill that is an insult and slap in the face to the American People who are struggling and suffering right now. Those families sitting in their car waiting hours in line to pick up free food, people who lost their jobs who are afraid of being evicted from their apartments because they cant afford to pay the rent and to see this bill passed through congress that is touted as a great covid19 relief bill and say you get 600 while hundreds of billions of dollars going to corporate special interests, it is absolutely offensive and Congress Needs to fix this. Shannon we will see if they can get together the two sides. We will get cut off but good to see you. An update on a big case the Trump Campaign is fighting in georgia next.

Com tv and never go to the post office again allegations of widespread voter fraud numbs of congress objecting to electors and two moving senate runoffs, what is going on in georgia . Lets discuss that with katherine inglebreck. Katherine, i want to stay with you. Tell us what youre working on in georgia. The are in see, youre involved with efforts preelection, two weeks from tonight to give better monitoring in place prior to the election rather than trying to challenge it after the fact when the votes are cast, much harder to challenge. Absolutely. We are doing a variety of things in georgia that our focus at the moment is a preemptive challenge of just over 364,000 voters who appeared to be ineligible and there is a unique condition in georgia law that allows for georgia voters to bring these challenges so we are helping support voters from across the state to try to reconcile accurate roles and accurate voting standards before the voting starts. Jillian that brings us to a case that is proceeding or not proceeding where the Trump Campaign is challenging thousands of voters they say voted in the general election in november but were disqualified or ineligible and have detailed dozens of affidavits to say these are concrete cases, a judge deciding the case, attorneys say based on statutory provisions she cannot actually hear the case. They are calling for another judge to hear the case of a lifetime will run out and they cant get response from the chief judge or Fulton County clerk so are they getting their day in court when theres not a judge assigned he had a case. We worry about any shenanigans or procedural problems just getting your foot in the door of the trial court. They can always go on appeal and ask for an order, what we call an interlocutor order to get the Appeals Court to say go ahead but when you look at the merits of the case it is basically the same claims about absentee ballots and signature verification they have also had a chance to bring in federal court too where they lost and it goes to your first guests point because what all these courts have said is you should have brought these cases a long time ago before the election. You had a lot of time to challenge this Consent Decree in georgia. Why are you waiting till youre up against the choice of electors, opening electoral votes in washington and early january . Shannon their claims they have document cases of people who cast ballots and didnt know until after the fact that they werent eligible and cast ballots. That gets to your point you are trying to get this stopped before the vote in the runoffs. Do you see any movement on your case in time . Bringing these challenges with the help of voters across the straight county by county, hearings going on daily, we will see what unfolds but it is the right of every election and something we intend to help support to try to bring a free and Fair Election across the state this january. Jillian i want to ask several president ial pardons coming out tonight a lot of folks criticizing the president about his getting these pardons but is it pretty commonplace for president wrapping up a term . Of course and it is the president s are powers basically unlimited. He cant pardon for state crimes or impeachment and he cant pardon for civil cases. Other than that the president is allowed to pardon any federal criminal convictions so i think you can criticize his motives for doing it but that doesnt challenge the basic legitimacy and constitutionality of the pardons and he felt people have been mistreated by the Mueller Investigation and some people singled out and that is up to the president to mitigate the harshness of the law by using the pardon power. Shannon we will track these cases and keep folks updated. Thank you for your time, both of you. Merry christmas.

You still think that the story was false about your son hunter . Yes yes yes. You are a one horse only. Thank you. Thank you. I promise you my Justice Department will be totally on its own making judgments how to proceed. Joe biden not exactly answering the question about his son hunters overseas business dealings pointing to a Russian Disinformation Campaign instead of the confirmed federal investigation. Lets discuss that with Richard Fowler and miranda devine, welcome to you both. You have been digging on this story, what do you make of his response today . Trippi typical of joe biden when he is confronted with a difficult question which is not very often but as usual richard doocy comes up with the goods and as usual joe biden attacks the reporter and he wasnt going to answer but as he was walking through the curtains he thought better of it so he decided to call peter doocy one horse pony whatever that is, if that has anything to do with dogface pony soldier but it is not answering the question about russian this information but he did volunteer a different question that wasnt asked of him but which obviously has been workshop with his crew and that is that he will not interfere with the attorney generals work and the dojs work investigating his son hunter but he doesnt have to because whoever he chooses attorney general knows exactly what joe bidens wishes are. We know there has been confirmation from hunter biden is under investigation the federalist pointing out james biden, the brother of joe biden, an investigation involving the Hospital Business he was involved with, not necessarily of them directly but a lot of things going on, not just a Russian Disinformation Campaign. A lot of things going on and that is why the Justice Department has a great job investigating this. William barr the press conference this week indicated there was no need for special counsel because we have career bureaucrat justice attorneys working with the Justice Department to take this case on. Show biden has been clear when it comes to how he plans to manage the Justice Department is one that is independent of the white house, they have a job to be the attorney for the American People and he plans to make it no different and if you look at his two pics, the potential, his shortlived, doug jones and mary garland, still the pics for the same reasons the understandable of law, what the Justice Department should be and if either of those men are selected they will implement the rules of the Justice Department without political persuasion from the white house. Shannon a quick comment on kim fox saying it may expunge the convictions based on marijuana drug charges and if it works theres a possibility of looking at doing the same thing for certain amounts of cocaine and heroin. To you first. No one would complain about expunging small amounts of marijuana but when you are getting into thousands of dollars worth you were talking about dealers and that is effectively what you are doing when shes talking about moving on to cocaine and other harder drugs, you are decriminalizing drug use and drug dealing and all that does is lead you to the tragedy of Mental Illness and all the other problems of homelessness and dysfunction that we see with the drug culture and she would be better off talking about the drug court where people go instead to rehab and that is better than saying no problem, take as many drugs as you like. Let me get richard in for a quick comment. You have to look at it, you cant look at it in a vacuum. In many communities in chicago and other parts of the country, these drug laws Impact Communities of color more than any other community was what kim fox is doing is we can all agree that marijuana has medicinal purposes and why not let those folks live their lives without a felony on their record.

Shannon it joe biden says President Trump is downplaying a massive hac jillian joe biden says donald trump is downplaying a massive packing of Us GovernmentComputer Systems estimate we get new details on how the hack was carried out and how extensive it may be and how long it could take to clean it up. Mark meredith has the story. There is a grave risk and it continues. President elect joe biden says he has no reason to believe a recently discovered cyberattack on government and private systems is under control. This assault happened on Donald Trumps watch when he wasnt watching. Reporter in addition to accessing the department of energy and commerce Officials Say hackers gain access to dozens of email accounts at the Treasury Department and systems used by the departments highest ranking official. I dont think we have seen a hack of this level of sophistication this probably attacking public agencies and private sector companies. It is unclear if Steve Mnuchins emails were targeted. Mnuchin thinks are things are under control. The good news is theres been no damage nor have we seen any large amount of information displaced. Reporter last week the president S National Security adviser address the crisis but cyberexperts say the full effects of the breach remain unknown after hackers their various messages including still exception keys and access all sorts of data. There could be significant things, just whatever we sent an email, whatever attachments were there or whatever files those are accessible. Donald trump tweeted saturdays china may be responsible for the attack, a statement contradicted by his own secretary of state and attorney general. Certainly appears to be the russians but im not going to discuss the impact. Reporter the president elect says he plans to respond to the breach but would not say how. The outgoing Trump Administration has not said how he would retaliate but mark warner says the us needs a global response. We need a set of cyberstandards, not just us that our allies so we see an adversary like russia violating those standards, the russians or any adversary expect us to punch back and fight back. There is no evidence the irs was compromised or taxpayer data was accessed by hackers but experts say the full scale of this attack is still being looked at. That is up for us tonight.
